Birthing With Becca

What is hypnobirthing?
Well, it's basically a full antenatal course.
On my hypnobirthing course, you'll come out feeling fully prepared and feeling much more positive about your birth, no matter how you decide to do it. I can promise you that🙌

Hi there! Just thought I'd do an introduction post....yeah, another one. We're all changing and evolving, right?

I'm Rebecca, Becca, Becki, etc.
I'm from the Staffordshire area, in a little place called Cannock.
I have a wonderful husband called Dave, and an almost 6 year old (how?) Beautiful, funny autistic son called Reuben and a 18 month old gorgeous, strong-willed daughter called Dahlia.

I'm a bookworm, homebody who also enjoys shaking her ass at the occasional emo night in town.
I love going to my local pub, and drinking 2/3rds of a sour craft beer and filling my face with delicious food.

I'm a massive birth nerd, I'm sure that goes without saying, but if you'd have told that to my 14 year old self after watching the most (frankly) terrifying birth video in child development at school. I'd have laughed in your face. But thanks to hypnobirthing, I would now say that giving birth to my daughter was the most beautiful experience of my life, and I would relive it daily if I could.

SO, that's why I do this work, but more on that later.

Tips for stages of labour⚡️💕

Have alllll the cuddles, eat burgers, shake your b***y to fall out boy, cuddles down with a book, however you get your happy.

Update to add: I think this post may be a bit vague when it says "newly born baby". Let's be more specific in saying healthy, full-term babies, with healthy mother, should be kept skin to skin, the infant having no hat on, for at least the first hour after birth (and hopefully beyond). This improves breastfeeding outcomes and is optimal for thermoregulation of the newborn.

Hey there, it's me, walking my pet alpaca in my big ass field.
Not really, that would be the dream though.
I'm actually up with my nearly 1 year old, wondering where the time has gone and wishing I could do it all again. Her birth and first year has been nothing short of a dream.

This is so worrying. This is exactly why we need doulas.
